10 TB SAS hot-plug drive
This Dell Compellent drive provides 10 TB of storage in a 3.5 inch hot-plug form factor. It operates at 7.2 k RPM with a 256 MB buffer and a 12 Gbps SAS interface. The unit is supplied new and ready for installation in compatible bays. It serves as a high-capacity option for expanding array storage.
Fits 3.5 inch hot-plug SAS bays
The drive requires a backplane and controller that support 12 Gbps SAS connectivity. Its hot-plug design allows replacement without powering down the enclosure. The 3.5 inch form factor frees 2.5 inch bays for other devices while delivering 10 TB per slot. Buyers needing higher spindle speeds or smaller physical formats should consider alternatives.

Questions about this item
How long can the 7.2k rpm spindle sustain writes before thermal throttling on the 400-AVKY?
The 7.2k rpm spindle is rated for continuous operation within the drive enclosure cooling limits; sustained writes run at full speed until the chassis airflow keeps the drive within its operating temperature range.
What is the idle and peak power draw of the 12 Gbps SAS 10 TB drive?
The 12 Gbps SAS 10 TB drive draws typical idle power for a 3.5 inch 7.2k rpm nearline drive and peaks under heavy random I/O, both within standard SAS backplane power budgets.
